GROCERY STORE POS
A grocery store POS system for mercados and small grocers
Weigh produce and meat on a scale that prints labels, take EBT and scan from 500,000+ items on a register that works in Spanish. Truvana Tech sets it up in DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
- Scales that print labels
- EBT items checked
- No contract
Grocery store POS features for mercados and carnicerías
Produce by weight, meat and deli, imported brands and EBT on one register, set up in your language.
EBT and SNAP at the register
The register knows what SNAP covers, so ineligible items such as hot food never ring up on EBT. Your store needs its own USDA approval first.
Scales that print labels
Produce, meat and deli items ring up by weight from a scale connected to the register, with a printed label.
Carnicería and deli counters
Meat, deli and groceries in one sale, each item with its own tax and EBT setting.
Imported brands ready to scan
Most items fill in from 500,000+ products when you scan them, and your current price list is uploaded for free at setup. Add only what's missing.
A register in Spanish
The register works in Spanish and English, so every cashier can use it. We train your team at the counter in either language.
Delivery orders on the register
DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats orders come into the register instead of a separate tablet.
Grocery store POS hardware
A register with a screen for the customer, a scanner, a scale and the card machine. Hardware is free when you process your card sales with us.

What is the best POS system for a small grocery store?
A small grocery needs four things a basic register doesn't do well: weights, EBT, a big product database and fast checkout. Look for:
- A scale connected to the register that prints labels
- EBT and SNAP checks at the register
- A product database that knows imported brands
- A register your cashiers can read in Spanish
What to ask before you sign
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does the register work with my scale? | Weights typed in by hand cost you on every sale |
| How are EBT sales taken? | The card machine must accept EBT chip and tap cards |
| Who loads my price list? | Ours is uploaded for free at setup |
| Is there a contract or a lease? | Ours has neither; many do |
SNAP stocking rule
From November 4, 2026, most SNAP stores must stock seven varieties in each of four staple groups; specialty stores such as butcher shops are exempt (USDA).
EBT cards with a chip
Maryland and Virginia began issuing chip-and-tap EBT cards in 2026, and a proposed USDA rule would require every SNAP store to accept them (Federal Register).
Other stores: convenience stores, liquor stores and smoke shops.
Grocery store POS questions owners ask
What is the best POS system for a small grocery store?
One that weighs and labels produce and meat, checks EBT at the register, fills in imported brands from a big product database and works in your cashiers' language. Truvana Tech installs one in DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia, in English or Spanish, with no contract.
Does the POS work with a scale?
Yes. A scale connected to the register sells produce, meat and deli by weight and prints a label. Tell us which scale you use today when you ask for a quote.
How do I accept EBT at my store?
What about items the database doesn't know?
You add them once, with your price, and they scan from then on. Your current price list is uploaded for free at setup, so most of your items are in before you open.
Does it work in Spanish?
Yes. The register works in Spanish and English, and Truvana Tech sells, sets up, trains and supports in either language across our service area.
Is there a contract?
No. Your quote lists the card processing fee and the monthly fee, there is no contract or equipment lease, and the hardware is free when you process your card sales with us. See how card fees work.
